This is called "Morant's curve" on the Bow river in Banff National Park....I know the spot very well!
A wonderful image.

Yep, named after Nicholas Morant, a staff photographer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. He photographed for them for 44 years and his photos were used for numerous publicity purposes. His photos have been used on various Canadian currency as well. He and Yousuf Karsh are the only two photographers to be awarded the Order of Canada.

Among train photographers and train enthusiasts, this is a "Must See" sight.
